| Information Block | Description | |||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simplify Mode | It allows applying the same price for all codes inside the same code name by using three options: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| minimum available price. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| maximum available price. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| average price of all available. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Example | For instance, if the USA code name consists of 3 codes with 1, 5, and 6 USD rates , respectively, depending on a chosen option, the results will be:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| Codes Optimization checkbox | This option allows compressing an imported code range. For example, 4400-4409 will be shortened to 440. At the same time, 4400-4491 will be shortened to 440, ..., 448, 4490, 4491. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Field | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tag | Specify a tag that will be applied to new rates, if such were created by a rates generator. Let's leave the default @ tag | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Policy | Select the policy (regular or additive) that will be applied to code(s) , presented in a code deck, but not in a source rate table. For example, Regular policy | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Rate | Define a rate for codes, which are present in a code deck but missing in a rule's source rate table. For example, 7.5 USD | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Setup Fee | Define a setup fee for a new rate(s). For example, 8 USD | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Min Volume | Indicate minimum volume for a new rate(s). 6 sec, for instance | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Interval | Specify the interval for a new rate(s). For example, 2 sec | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Grace Volume | Determine grace volume for those rates. For example, 2 sec | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Time Profile | Define a time profile for a new rate(s). For instance, leave the default all time profile | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Example | Let's say our DEFAULT code deck contains 5 codes: 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205. But our source rate table has 4: 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1205. If you enable Adjust Results and specify the above-mentioned fields with respective parameters, a new rate table, created by a rates generator, will consist of 5 codes: 1201,1202, 1203, 1205 with their original parameters and a new 1204 code with the following ones (see screenshot above):
If a source rate table misses more than 1 code from the selected code deck, all added codes will have identical parameters, specified in the respective fields above. |

Please note , that if you enable the Adjust Results option but don't specify the Rate field, new rates for missing codes won't be added to a new rate table |
Attention...
The Advanced Options information block is designed to resolve cases when rates generator rules are created for different source rate tables that share certain identical codes. By specifying the following fields, you can configure what will the rate system will use for these codes:
| Field | Description | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detect Fake | Enable detection of fake rates if at least a specified number of rates is present in all source rate table, specified in generator rules. | ||||||||||
| Skip Distance | A percentage value of the difference between the average rate value and a particular rate from all rates, used for the Detect Fake operation. | ||||||||||
| Rate Position | Define what rate from a total amount of rates left after Detect Fake operation will be used for certain code. Rates are ordered from the cheapest to the most expensive. Thus, if you specify 1, The system will use the cheapest rate, if 2 - the second cheapest, and so on. | ||||||||||
| Example | Let's say we have 4 rules in our rates generator, each with a different source rate table. Each rate table has a rate for the 1201 code, but with different prices in USD:
In Advanced Options of rates generator settings, we've specified values , seen in the screenshot above. It means that the system will pick all 4 rates for the 1201 code and execute the following actions:

The Quality Options information block contains additional parameters for more precise rate generation, based on the Summary Report. The system will analyze the report taking into account a specified time interval , specified in a report, minimum event value for codes , specified in generator rules, as well replace rate values for unmatched codes, and will generate a new rate table or update an existing one including these parameters. The information block consists of the following fields:
| Field | Description | |||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analyze Period | Define a number of hours to analyze the Summary Report for. For example, 24 hours | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Code Min Volume | Define a minimum event volume for certain code. For example, 60 min for the Calls service | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Unmatched Price | Define a price for all codes that do not satisfy quality parameters (Code Min Volume value). For example, 100 USD | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Example | For example, you created a new rates generator and set up 3 rules for the following codes: 1201, 1202, 1205 with 1.5, 2.5, and 5.5 USD rates , respectively. In the Quality options, the respective parameters are the same as indicated in an example (see screenshot above). If you click Create Rate Table or Update Rate Table buttons on May 16th, at, i.e., 3:25 PM, the rates generator will run a Summary Report with the following parameters:
Subsequently, a report showed that the billed volume for 1201 code is 79 mins, 1202 - 49 mins, and 1205 - 61 mins. As a result, a newly generated rate table will contain the following data:
